Suggest Remedies For Swelling And Purple Filling In My Shin

I am a 41 yr old and a diabetic, last week I fell getting out of the shower my shin is bruised. I don t have any pain in my leg and have not since a few hrs after the fall. I had a x-ray no broken bones. I had an ultrasound done no report of circulation problems,however my leg is swollen purple and some green .My shin has an odd filling to it when I touch it. Then only way I can describe it is it feels fake.Please advise

It looks to me that there is collection of blood in the shin and it is causing such feeling to you. I would suggest you to take hot water fomentation and antibiotics so that it does not become infected. Also avoid too much standing as it will prevent absorption of this blood.
